This is one of my favorite pieces, and I'm not totally sure what it is or if 1975 is the correct date. It appears to be a display with Jay Publishing stadium issue cards. I assume 75 because Brock was on everything in 75 after breaking the stolen base record, and the Dodgers were NL champs, but anyone who could date it better, let me know.

75 Kelloggs. For some reason the 75'sseem to crack much more easily than other Kelloggs issues

1975 Mengler/Peterson. These were non licensed cards intended to get autographs on. As I understand MLB or the Players Union or both forced him to stop making and/or selling them. They pop up on ebay from time to time. Mine came with a return sellers address name of Mengler, so perhaps he found a way after 35 years to unload his stacks of cards.

This is a test lid from 1975 or 1976 by Michael Schechter and Associates. It uses the Linnett drawings which came out in 1976 and pre dates the numerous disc sets MSA would put out over the next couple of years. Mike Mosier of Columbia City Collectibles dated it at 1975 and there aren't many people more knowledgeable about odd ball stuff than them, so I am putting it in the 1975 file. I have never seen another one.

That can not be correct, Jay Publishing ceased to exist circa 1965 when the owner of Jay Publishing perished in a plane crash. That is why Jay Publishing listings stop in 1965. I would change that to team issued.
